RESHAPE 17 | Wearable Technology Competition

Register/Submit Deadline: Wednesday, Jun 28, 201711:59 PMCEST

BRIEF

Wearables are becoming an active, supplemental skin that not only protect our body but also
facilitate functions such as growth, movement, respiration and nutrition or rehabilitate the
environment. Becoming a new medium able to regulate the relation between our body and its
surroundings, wearables can now collect and exchange information producing dynamic
outputs. Reshape aims to enhance these impulses in fashion design, proposing a new
challenge to makers and designers: RESHAPE 17 | Wearable Technology Competition | Programmable Skins.

The proposals will focus on wearables as a prosthetic skin providing augmented functions.
Reshape 17 goes beyond ubiquitous computing, towards integrated and holistic strategies
with the objective to eliminate electronics, electronics, in favor of programmable materials.
We expect the design for our competition to respect the Reshape ideology, and the judging
criteria consists in
